ence.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 10
The national colored press association
resumed its session to-day and was
called to order by W. H. Anderson,
in the absence of President Simmons.
The discussions of the day brought
out diversion as to which party the
colOred men should support.
The first topic announced for dis
cussion was the "Relation of Colored
Men to Existing Political Parties"
Rev. Allen Allensworth, of Louis
vile, opened the discussion. He said
the American white man did not un-
derstand the negro's position. The
trouble was that when the negroes
asked for their legal rights the major
ity Of the people seemed to think that
they were asking for social privileges.
Negroes should in a measure be sep
arate from the existing parties and
teach them what the colored man s
rights should be. White men and
colored men should cultivate friendly
relations.
Mr.. Alexander Clark, of Chicago,
representing the Baltimore CONNER
cial, said all men were created free
and should be entitled to equal rights.
He was a republican not a drop of
democratic blood was there in his
veins; but the colored people should
not fight any party or creed but lab
or to benefit themselves. Negroes
would be mere cipher as an indie
pendent party. They should adhere
to the republican party. If they did
not like to do this, they should be
ruled out. The republicans were go
ing to take possession of things again.
They had merely split over Jim
Blaine and spoils. 1t was their theft
and dishonesty that divided them the
last time. The mugwumps can't
amount to much, as they form com
pany of sorehead reformers. There
never was a reform party that was
not fraud. The negro who deserts
the republican party is a traitor to
the living and the dead, and it is a
wonder that the ghosts of the great
departed statesmen who founded the
party do not come forth and confront
him.
Mr.. D. A. Rudd, of the Catholic
Tribune, said the negro owed indy
ing allegiance to any party. For
every service. the republicans has
done them, they have done two in re-
turn. The negroes are not a part
and parcel of them.
Prof. P. H. Murray, of the St,
Louis Advance, stated that so leng
as negroes were regarded as the
political enemy Of party, just that
long would they have the party to
fght and oppose their interests. The
negro is not in a position TO dictate
to any political party. He severely
criticised the ST. Louis Democrat,
which advocated the unloading of the
,olored men onto the democratic
party. Colored men should support
he party which is best at the present
lime, not the one that was best in the
past. LAS far as Mr.. Blaine is CON
,erned," said Prot. Murray. "he
seems anxious to read the negroes
out Of the party and FIJI up the gap
with Irish votes. Mr.. Sherman
went TO Nashville and made speech |
